Moira’s October Newsletter-Musculoskeletal Pain
The musculoskeletal system consists of connective tissues including joints, ligaments, and tendons. Problems with the musculoskeletal system can result in inflammation and pain and, ultimately, reduce the body’s overall health. Increasingly, people are looking for more natural approaches to help relieve painful musculoskeletal conditions instead of relying on medications.
Acupuncture is a good therapy choice because it has no side effects and can be helpful for all types of pain, regardless of what is causing the pain or where the pain is located. Some studies have shown the pain relief provided by acupuncture can last for months.

Moira’ August Newsletter for Autoimmune Disorders
Over 50 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disease; an autoimmune disease occurs when the bodys immune system attacks healthy tissue. Autoimmune disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, thyroid disease, Addison’s disease, pernicious anemia, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and GuillainBarré syndrome.
Due to the complexity of treating autoimmune disorders, integrative medicine solutions including acupuncture and Oriental medicine have received much attention as successful therapies in their treatment. Acupuncture is specifically noted for its use in pain relief, regulating the immune system, managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Acupuncture as Effective as Meds for Migraines
Acupuncture for migraine patients proved as effective as standard drug therapy in reducing the number of attacks — but so did sham acupuncture, according to a German study.
The report, published online March 2, 2006 by TheLancet Neurology, presented the findings from the German Acupuncture Trials migraine study, a randomized, controlled trial of 960 patients with two to six serious migraine attacks a month.
A surprising result was the efficacy of sham acupuncture, the researchers wrote. “Ultimately, one could argue that the efficacy of treatment, especially a treatment with almost no adverse events or contraindications, is more important than the knowledge of the mechanism of action of this particular therapy,” Dr. Diener concluded. “The decision whether acupuncture should be used in migraine prevention remains with the treating physician.”
